Leading Chicago investigative reporter Dan Mansfield hires up-and-coming young journalist Jules Roth, but she soon is handed an odd—and extremely secret—assignment. Dan wants her to find Woman on Fire, the most well-known picture by renowned Expressionist artist Ernst Engel, which was taken over 75 years ago by the Nazis. For very personal reasons, acclaimed shoe designer Ellis Baum has asked Dan to assist him in finding this depiction of a stunning, enigmatic lady. Jules, however, is running out of time; the well-known designer is dying.
Provocative and formidable Margaux de Laurent, meantime, is looking for the artwork throughout Europe. Margaux, the shrewd gallerist who inherits her art collector family's millions, gets her way in everything. Jules is the sole obstacle in her path. However, Jules, who is driven and passionate, has unanticipated resources of her own, such as Adam Baum, Ellis's grandson. Adam, a talented artist and recovering addict, was formerly under Margaux's control. He would stop at nothing to assist Jules in finding the picture before Margaux does, knowing how vicious she can be.
